Dear Officer Schramm,

Hanover May 16 1815
The enclosed Pension Certificate was sent to the Post Office from Burlington P.O. Maine and suppose there being no person as Judge by that name there it was directed to Hanover Maine County Me. I don't know of any such Judge here of that Name nor the person's name mentioned in the Certificate as a Revolutionary Soldier therefore have sent it back to the War Office department expect it must be a Hanover in some of the other States.
